ok. so polar express. i think i caught it one month too early. lol. one thing about the show was that the people looked really lifeless. i know it's an animation and all but somehow something was missing.. they were all too wooden. and the facial expressions were just off. actually the whole show was like an elaborate amusement park ride, what with all the pseudo-rollercoaster scenes and all. plus the city at the north pole reminded me way too much of a disneyland ride.. i almost expected the elves to start singing it's a small world after all.
oh and the whole thing was more of a nightmare than a dream. creepy puppets with broken noses surrounding yu and singing freaky songs?? and the throng of elves chanting yu better watch out yu better not cry santa claus is coming to town was totally giving me the creeps. plus the deserted factory with old records of christmas carols playing on the public announcement system. geez.
and i kept feeling that they were implying more than just believing in santa.. maybe i was reading too much into it, but it felt like they were talking about something else. hmm.
on another note, i'm off to the exotic thailand. the land of shopping, beaches and transvestites. lol. mm should be a good break.

i remember when i was younger, i listened to this song and decided it was the saddest song i ever heard. and i made my dad buy the cd for me. and so the first cd i ever owned in my life was a simon and garfunkel cd. and this song stirred up feelings in me that couldn't be put into words, even up to now. and once again it brings images to my mind of places, places of ruin, places that desolation permeates, places of solitude. yet none of these are mentioned in the lyrics, making the song all the more haunting and forlorn.

sometimes when yu wait long enough for something, yu forget what yu're waiting for. and then it doesn't really matter anymore, because it's no longer important to yu. yu learn to adapt to live without it, and by and by yu eventually become independent of it, and then yu start to wonder why yu even waited for it in the first place.

it seems like the older yu get, the more your brain seems to have a mind of its own. while it previously was comfortably under control, your head now tends to be brimful of thoughts, threatening to spill over any moment. so many things clogging up your brain, clouding your decision-making, and before yu go to sleep, there's so much activity going on inside that yu wonder whether it'll ever settle down. everything swirls round and round and yu can't do anything to stop it. i've been staring at the ceiling till the wee hours of the morning.

lol the incredibles blew me away. fabulous show. brilliant blend of novel ideas and hilarious antics. best show i watched in ages, but i shall not gush too much haha. definitely worth watching again, and i just might get the dvd/vcd when it comes out. altho i did think it was more of an adult cartoon than a children's one, considering the rather administrative parts and all. but man i laughed my ass off. lol.

mm wanted to make a post on autistic people long ago. but didn't get round to it till now. yeah well i think autism is more of a gift than an illness. bcoz autism tends to come with a special talent, like a knack for remembering train stations, or drawing with incredible precision and perspective. and even though autistic people aren't entirely sociable, it can't be considered a fault, for aren't geniuses rather eccentric at times too? it's said that autistic kids dont like interacting with people as they're unpredictable. people can't be put into simple categories or analyzed into mere patterns. for our behaviour is erratic and sometimes inexplicable. and i find that the natural instinct in autistic children to shy away from people is a kind of defense mechanism. like it's an in-built programme to keep them from harm.
i like the fact that they're each in their own world, and they permit only selective entry to that world. and they keep their emotions to themselves, instead of strewing them all over the place like normal people do. maybe one day we'll discover that all autistic children are geniuses just that we were all too blind to see it.

i wonder if silver baubles float. i could let some off into the sea ala message-in-a-bottle style, just that it would be a message-on-a-bauble. so instead of having shimmery bubbles floating off into the sky there will be shiny baubles bobbing along on the black black sea. and since the water reflects what's on it i'll have double the number of baubles. and maybe my baubles will float all the way to hawaii or something and some hoogashaka will pick them up and laugh at my silly messages.

isn't it so much easier to be able to name your dream destination. all i have are images of places, which are so strangely familiar they're almost memories. i can almost feel the emotions i felt in those places, but how could i have? i know these memories are not real, for it's impossible for me to have been there. places with no names, no descriptions, no other way for me to find them, than by the pictures i have in my head. just images, that's all i have, visions that gradually disappear as i try to pinpoint specific details down.

i just figured out why drama serials are so exasperating [i.e korean dramas, taiwan dramas, idol dramas, any dramas]. the female lead and the male lead like each other yada yada. and then comes along little miss bitch who consistently attaches herself to the male lead [in most cases little miss bitch is female's lead best friend, you know for dramatic effect]. so little miss bitch blatantly flirts with male lead, but male lead is too uh gentlemanly to reject her. so the couple quarrel and eventually we arrive at the inevitable breakup. and i'm tempted to slap the guy. who cares about gentlemanliness really. just shove little miss bitch away and focus on the one more deserving of attention. are they all too blind to see who's genuine and who's not. or are they just too flattered by the attention.
if i had my say in those drama serials i would have a scene whereby male lead picks little miss bitch up caveman style and dumps her in the dustbin. preferably in front of female lead. ha. i saw a show whereby male lead dropped little miss bitch into a pile of dinosaur dung, which was extremely satisfying to watch. unfortunately the show was set in prehistoric times. so well not as er feasible. as long as little miss bitch dies/burns/decomposes/festers i'll be contented. but well guys being guys would never do that. so much for my graphic imagination.
